Abstract

The amount of residual tooth structure stands as a paramount déterminants for the longevity of endodontically treated teeth. Recent advancements in endodontics and restorative dentistry have been oriented towards a paradigmatic transition from conventional practices to a more scientifically driven, conservative, and minimally invasive approach aimed at conserving maximal tooth structure. Inlay/onlay restorations have emerged as a conservative and efficacious modality for restoration posterior teeth afflicted with extensive cavitations, considering aesthetic, biological, and mechanical imperatives.However, the efficacity and durability of inlay/onlay restorations hinge upon achieving optimal coherence among clinical indications, preparatory protocols, material choices, and bonding techniques. This article presents a contemporary perspective on such partial restorations via a clinical case study, elucidating the restoration of a severely compromised mandibular molar utilizing an indirect CAD/CAM-fabricated ceramic inlay-onlay.
